Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 317 The Issue of Mindset, Two Fierce Battles Ahead!

The ship had been sailing for a full day.

On the afternoon of the second day, we finally arrived at the next town – Mutong Town.

After disembarking from the luxury cruise ship, Xiao Gang looked refreshed and relaxed. The stress that had accumulated during his long journey had completely dissipated during the two-day luxury cruise.

But Xiao Guang's situation doesn't seem as good as Xiao Gang's.

However, rather than saying that Dawn looked bad, it's more accurate to say that Dawn looked so haggard because she was worried about Ash.

"Do you think Ash is really alright?"

Looking at Ash walking ahead, Dawn couldn't help but express her concern.

"Hmm, he should be alright, right? Ash seems a bit off right now, but that's just because he's thinking of a solution, isn't it? Don't worry, Ash won't lose his fighting spirit just because he hears that an opponent has Darkrai."

"I know that too..."

Hwang waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't worried about Ash's fighting spirit.

Instead, I'm worried—

"But I heard that the trainer has more than just Darkrai among his legendary Pokémon. If it's just Darkrai, Ash's Primeape should be able to handle it, right? But if there are more legendary Pokémon, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

"So—" Xiaogang suddenly realized, finally guessing what Xiaoguang was worried about. "So you're worried about whether Xiaozhi can win the League Tournament?"

"No...this...um..."

Xiao Guang initially considered denying it, but after thinking it over, it didn't seem like something that needed to be denied, so he nodded.

"You."

Xiao Gang shook his head.

It seems that Xiao Guang's thoughts have been accurately predicted by Xiao Zhi on the airship.

Thankfully, Ash was walking ahead and didn't hear Dawn's worries, otherwise he would have turned into a mother hen and continued to correct her.

Never mind, I'll take care of this!

Xiao Gang, with a righteous air, cleared his throat and solemnly said to Xiao Guang, "This kind of mentality is terrible!"

"Eh--"

Xiao Guang never expected that Xiao Gang would start talking about her mindset now.

But Xiao Guang didn't know what was wrong with his mindset, which is why he made that questioning sound.

Brock ignored this and continued, "Why do you think Ash is worried about whether he can win the League Tournament?"

Xiao Gang asked.

"Because...didn't a trainer appear who owns many legendary Pokémon?"

Xiao Guang answered based on the facts.

"Ugh--"

With a long sigh.

Xiao Gang started pointing out where her problem was.

"If you think Ash is worried because of that one trainer, then what about Ash, Koppin, and Paul? Besides, there are so many other trainers participating in the League. Why do you think Ash has already won?"

"this......"

Xiao Guang herself was unaware of the problem, but now that Xiao Gang had pointed it out directly, she couldn't answer it herself.

Even if Brock asked again now who the winner of the League Tournament was, Dawn's answer would most likely still be Ash.

On the cruise ship, Ash and Brock hadn't read the magazine the two trainers were talking about, but Dawn had.

In reality, the four players considered dark horses are probably Ash, Shinji, Kaku, and Jun.

There are also a few other trainers whose gym battle results are nowhere near comparable to Ash and his friends.

Ash has battled all three of them, especially Shinji and Koppi, and Dawn was right there, witnessing firsthand how easily Ash won.

Since Ash doesn't think he can beat Ash, Dawn believes that Ash will most likely win this year's League Championship.

Xiao Gang couldn't tell whether Xiao Guang was too naive or had too high expectations of Xiao Zhi, as if Xiao Zhi was omnipotent in her mind.

How blindly optimistic!

"Remember, it's not just you who grow during the journey; your rivals and you also grow. You may have defeated them before, but in a competition, only the one who laughs last laughs. Even if you win ten thousand times in normal times, if you lose once on the final stage, you've lost!"

"Yes... I will reflect on my actions..."

While on the airship, due to his excessive excitement, Hikari didn't take Ash's advice to be careful to heart.

Aside from the beginning, the subsequent smooth sailing made Xiaoguang a little complacent. Perhaps at this point, she really needed a failure to make her truly face reality.

Keep in mind that the journey is only halfway through, and she has already earned four ribbon medals. She is arguably one of the fastest-progressing coordinators, and she is also among the top three dark horses in the magazine's major celebration section.

.......

At this moment, Ash, who was walking in front, had no idea what was happening behind him.

His idea was actually very simple: he was just guessing what Pokémon Darkrai had left.

The first two are Darkrai and Latios.

Ash didn't think Darkrai's remaining Pokémon would be easy opponents. He even concluded that Darkrai's four remaining Pokémon were all legendary Pokémon.

So what he's doing right now is actually quite simple—

Interpretation.

I kept thinking about which legendary Pokémon to send out when I encountered different ones, and what their weaknesses were.

This kind of performance is something that most people simply couldn't do.

But Ash already had experience battling all the legendary Pokémon, and he knew their weaknesses very well.

However, the Pokémon he can use now have reverted to their original form. Pokémon with top-tier power like Greninja are definitely not suitable for dealing with Pokémon like Entei.

.......

And so, the three of them, each carrying their own troubles, soon arrived at the Pokémon Center in Woodlink Town.

Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, Ash immediately made further adjustments to his team.

For the upcoming training, Ash put the Shellder back, which still needed some time to mature before evolving, and then retrieved the Ursaring.

Ash's current team composition is—

Pikachu, Swimsuit, Ursaring, Torkoal, Dusknoir, and Staraptor.

Ash plans to rely on his Pokémon to battle at the next Cutting Edge Gym.

Moreover, after the gym battle, another fierce battle awaits him.

Ash couldn't help but smile as he thought about the two battles that were about to take place.

I'm really looking forward to playing against you this time.

Shinji.

P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
